And some people thought the O'Neill rumour was silly!! OK this is just getting stupid now. Stoke's ESPN Correspondent: http://twitter.com/#!/espn_stoke/status/45949941486583809 @espn_stoke espn_stoke Strong rumour from a source with a good track record that Rafa Benitez could come in the Summer if we stay up...
Now this has to be a joke ! He has prob got go down as one of Liverpools worst ever Managers ! When he took over the team that got to the Champions League Final ( Houliers team ) it was shrouded by the fact he might of been the guy that masterminded this .. we all know thats silly ... He managed to spend millions upon millions in assembling a side that was incapable of being secure in the prem ... Liverpool were in a sorry state when he left them ! Next stop Italy .. Sacked and what an opportunity that was ... very poor It took Liverpool to an all time low with his very average buys .. Roy Hodgson also paid the price ! It took a person in the name of a legend K Dalgleish and a small amont of 70 mill to pull this round ! Rafa to anybody in the UK i find a very strange call to say the least let alone us !

If, and I mean IF, Tony is replaced it will be someone who will be able to fine tune what TP has set up. It would be absolutely suicide if we go for someone who is completely opposite to the style we play at the moment. We are massively set up to play this pulisball and we need to step away from it steadily and slowly so that we can take on each new level. I really hope we go for someone like Wilkins who we all know was very much involved in setting up how Chelsea play and believe it or not they are masters of the long ball game here in the prem. Pigs may fly mind
